Default Falling on its face

My car is falling on its face when ever u go into 2nd gear....It has falling on its face in other gears but most of the time it is just in 2nd and its not all the time. I just put a new throtle position sensor onand it didn't help what else could it be.

How do you set the tps, where do you hook the meter too.

I ground the meter to the engine and then the positive side to the green wire of the TPS. You will have to poke a little hole in it.

o.k., one more dumb question, is the tps on top of the throttle body, held by two screws.

Yup...you may have to enlarge the holes also to get the proper votage also(I had to on mine)
